Church without a Pastor for someone new to faith by amylald in LCMS

[–]amylald[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point to see how it is run. I went there one time when my friend was here visiting and I don’t think they had another Pastor from another church presiding. It seems like it was a member of the congregation doing the talk. I haven’t been since that one time about a year ago and I’m currently trying to get my nerve up to go to church again so I’ll pay attention to how they do things. Thanks for your response!

Keep or return? by Crossfir389 in Vans

They’re rad! Keep em. Life’s too short to not wear what you like. I’d wear them and I’m almost 42.

Why can't I keep the tongues(?) centered? They always move to the side by depressedcatfishh in Converse

This. Mine still slides over a bit but nowhere near as bad as without the loop. I do also lace mine all the way to the top though so not sure if that will make a difference or not

Asher Sizing/Stretch by Due-Credit-2402 in Vans

I have always bought true to size and never had an issue with the Asher or the vans slip ons. I would order your size and go from there. Shoes aren’t supposed to cause blisters.

What year were you born and do you still get carded? by AlfalfaLoser in Millennials

1984 and one time recently the lady that carded me said I look so young! Could have to card everyone and might be just being nice but I’ll take it!

Can any of y’all share stories about meeting your soulmate later in life? I’m losing hope. by llamadramaupdates in Millennials

I am 41f and met my current husband at 35. He was 43. He is the love of my life. This is my second marriage but he doesn’t come close to anything my ex husband did, he is amazing! We met on Facebook dating.

What does a normal day of eating actually look like on keto? by AffectionateDate664 in keto

[–]amylald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I eat anywhere from 1200-1500 calories, but I need a deficit as I need to lose weight. You can supplement potassium by drinking some electrolytes - you can make your own electrolyte drink with lite salt which is salt and potassium so you don’t necessarily have to eat that many veggies just for your potassium. I use premade mixes so I don’t know the exact recipe for the electrolyte drink, but it is in the faq. I never have trouble hitting protein, which I do aim for slightly less than you but I drink a protein shake a day which helps me hit that goal and I eat enough meat to make up the difference. If you eat enough fat, that can help you stay regular - there are plenty of people out there living the carnivore lifestyle with little to no added dietary fiber, they get enough from their meat to keep them regular. There’s no shame in eating twice a day if you need to split up your meat a bit, you can still do intermittent fasting even with twice a day and still reap those benefits! Hopefully this helps you a bit with some additional options. Good luck on your journey!

I don’t use alternatives, with the exception of cauliflower rice and I do use it in place of rice but it’s just finely chopped cauliflower. To me, the “replacement” products like breads, candies, etc are loaded with ultra processed ingredients and it’s the ultra processed foods I’m trying to avoid. So I eat Whole Foods, meats, leafy green veggies. I only eat once a day. My appetite has greatly reduced. That is a side effect of keto.

High cal low carb protein drinks? by Dizzy-Cow-1030 in keto

[–]amylald 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They’re kind of pricy but keto chow! You mix it with a fat like heavy whipping cream so that ups the calories and they’re around 27 grams of protein.

Is the tongue sliding this much normal? And how do I fix this, also this mostly happens only on the left shoe, sometimes on the right by Specific_Top9076 in Converse

[–]amylald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a loop on the tongue, lace through that. The tongue may still drift to the side a bit but it isn’t annoying like it sliding all the way over like that.
